Pain In My Lower Right Adbominal Area - Though Not Apendix Posted: 01-29-05 03:38am
Hello, I recently had a very strong pain
in my lower right abdominal area, my
cousin recently had her appendix taken out
so my mother automatically assumed I was
in the same position, however I did go to
the emergency room and blood tests and a
cat scan of my abdominal area showed no
sign of appendicitis. The doctors told me
that it was perhaps a virus which caused
an inflammation and could not do anything
else for me and sent me packing. To give
a bit of background information on my pain
it started on a tuesday night and it
gradually became worse every evening until
friday when I went to the emergency room.
While there I was under heavy amounts of
pain killers so the main went away,
however recently I have noticed it coming
back. Furthermore, I recently noticed
that this pain is identical with a pain I
had when I was accidently struck in my
testicle (yes yes - and no my girlfriend
is not beating me lol) so I automatically
became rather scared with the various
thoughts of what it could be. So I was
wondering what you would suggest my next
move be because I frankly do not want to
go to my mother again and give her more
heart ache if it is indeed just a virus.
So hope to hear back thanks! By the way I
am 19 years old just in case that matters
to any of the medicinal purposes.

I guess i'll help him out.......I'm
thinking you could have a kidney stone
maybe...It would be in your urethra
tube....Does it hurt when you urinate??If
the stone gets stuck you will have
unbearable pain most times in your
back....It could be a kidney
infection,too.I'd go to your family doctor
and describe to him or her exactly what
types of pain you are having and where
it's located...Er doctors miss alot of
things and that's not putting them
down,it's just your doc knows your history
better.I would most definitely go to the
doctor...It's always better to play it
safe.You are too young to worry about
cancer so just concentrate on a doctors
visit...Good luck to you...Keep us posted.

Thank you so much for your reply! I have
made an appointment with my family doctor
I will update you on that, but as a matter
of fact I wanted to say that I do indeed
have great back pain so perhaps you are
right, though I do not have any pain
during urination but I will inform my
doctor of all of this. Thanks again!

Pain In Right Side Posted: 02-10-05 14:02pm
I was curious what your doctor found? I
am having the same problem it's not a
constant pain just comes and goes. I
thought appendix to but, I dont have all
of the symptoms. I went to see my gyno
thinking it might be female issues?
Nothing found
any information would be helpful..

I ended up having my gall bladder
removed.They did an ultrasound and a
hidascan.It showed I had sludge in my
gb.The hidascan found it.It was only
working 15%...Which isn't much,at all.The
operation wasn't bad and I just have to
watch what I eat and not eat big meals.
The symptoms I was having was like a heart
attack.I had stabbing pain in my chest,my
neck hurt,sometimes I would feel a
heartbeat under my right lower ribcage.I
was eating stuff like spicy
tuna,popcorn,candy bars and worst of all
dill pickle potato chips!!
I had weird feelings going up the back of
my neck and into my upper head but I have
a disc out in my neck so that might not be
a symptom of gb.
Hope they help you out.You are smart to be
getting it checked out and playing it
safe...Goood luck!! Keep us posted...

Right Lower Abdomainl Pain Posted: 08-14-05 04:01am
2 years ago I got too hot outside-on my
rider mower-for a short second I could not
see or hear-at all-then I started having
this strange-weird feelings go up my back,
up my neck, like it (the feeling) would
take
and shake me really hard and really fast
and then it'd make me so dizzy my body
would shake-like from a chill-that all
would happen overy so often, for a good
year-still don't know why-i know things
about me are different since that-what
kinda of wierd feeling were you having?
But having extreme lower right side
abdominal pain-its a hard tuggin feel-but
not constant-it surges-usually when i'm
cooking-and I do love to cook. But-and
then i'm unable to eat-but feel so
hungry-help?
